What HR leaders can do to help autistic employees succeed
- National Disability Employment Awareness Month's theme this year is “Access to Good Jobs for All” and HR leaders can use this occasion to make workplaces more accepting and hospitable towards autistic people.
- Autistic employees can be up to 140% more productive than average workers when they are matched with the right position.
- However, autistic employees often face discrimination and are even fired for autism-related problems and thus, organizations miss out on their valuable contributions.
- Autistic employees may have difficulty with non-verbal behavior, comprehension of another point of view, change, sensory issues, among other difficulties.
- 10 best practices for working with autistic employees include celebrations of individuality, training for neurotypical individuals, understanding and providing reasonable accommodations, respecting their privacy, tailoring communication standards according to their needs, encouraging questions among others.
- HR leaders should stay tuned in to potential problems such as managers directly discriminating against workers based on disability, rooting out retaliation against autistic employees who have raised issues and ensuring performance management removes disability from performance considerations.
- HR leaders can train managers and staff about how to work with autistic workers, which can prevent costly lawsuits and help foster a more nurturing and accepting workplace.

As some companies scale back on DEI, others double down on their efforts
- As some companies scale back on DEI initiatives, others are doubling down and refining their strategies by focusing on belonging, inclusion, and fair pay alongside other diversity metrics.
- While some executives suggested that DEI programs were a fad, companies like Ancestry, Mitre, and HLW are continuing to invest in DEI initiatives that are grounded in strategies that benefit both employees and the organization.
- Ancestry, for example, introduced "Amplify Voices," a speaker series highlighting the experiences of marginalized communities, developed programming to celebrate cultural heritage months, bolstered its employee resource groups, and instituted a Global Day of Understanding.
- Ancestry has adopted a systematic approach to pay equity, conducting compensation analyses twice a year to identify and eliminate disparities in employee advancement and compensation.
- In order to identify diversity gaps and how to address them, nonprofit R&D company Mitre turned to Aleria, a tool designed to measure inclusion by collecting qualitative and quantitative data across the company.
- HLW, an architecture and design firm, is adopting a data-driven approach to ensure equitable opportunities for its employees, strengthening management training in areas like communication and unconscious bias, and reducing its gender pay gap through promotion cycles.
- Employment attorney Heather Bussing argues that companies using data to drive their DEI strategies are better positioned to navigate challenges as demographic forces shape the workforce landscape.
- While some companies have scaled back on DEI efforts, it is critical to create long-term programs that benefit both employees and the organization. DEI is not just about hiring a diverse workforce; it's about creating an equitable employee experience.
- Companies that shy away from DEI initiatives may find themselves at a disadvantage as demographic forces continue to create a permanent labor shortage.
- Creating sustainable and long-lasting DEI programs that are not performative should be a priority for companies to reassess and get it right.
